What happened

Landlord sought to quash tenants' appeal of a Landlord and Tenant Board order that terminated their tenancy for non-payment of rent. The dispute centered on whether a $300 increase in rent (from $1450 to $1750) to cover utilities was lawful.

The ruling

The court quashed the tenants' appeal of the Landlord and Tenant Board's termination order. The court found that the appeal did not raise questions of law as required, and that the Board's decision allowing the rent increase to cover utilities was reasonable and lawful.
